Looking to hear if anyone else has seen or heard of premature wear/failure of a Wilwood Master Cylinder?
This is a '33 setup but pretty sure it applies to anyone that has a hydraulic clutch setup. The complete setup is wilwood - reverse swing mount brake and clutch pedal assembly with mount locations for dual master brakes and a clutch master. Therefore, all geometries should be correct. This is the master style: https://wilwood.com/MasterCylinders/...ter%20Cylinder
Long story short, at 1800 miles the clutch master went on my way to the first long distance car show. One side of the piston had worn enough that the seals no longer worked properly, as soon as any pressure built it blew past the seals due to the wear.
I had to work with a local shop in the city I was in to replace the cylinder and the interesting part is that he said this is the 3rd Wilwood master that he's seen fail in the same way in the last 2 years. This seems really weird, is anyone else experiencing or seeing something similar?

P.S. I will be reaching out to Wilwood to see what they say but would like to hear from the FFR community as well
